Who we are
Evidence in service of better public policy
Fundacja Instytut Reform is an independent socio-economic think tank. We support the improvement of public policy at every stage — from identifying needs and designing solutions, through implementation, to evaluating results.
Evidence-based research
We analyse how public decisions affect the economy, society and the environment — and what Poland can learn from the experience of other countries.
Policy design and evaluation
We support strategy development, regulatory impact assessment and the creation of advanced tools for policy analysis.
Dialogue and cooperation
We bring together the public sector, business and non-governmental organisations around well-designed reform.
What we work on
Our two pillars
Our work rests on two complementary fields: better governance makes reform possible, and hands-on experience of change improves policy.
Better Governance
Looking to institute reform in order to modernise public administration by means of consultation and review.
